Surah Hud, ayah 116

فَلَوۡلَا كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡقُرُونِ مِن قَبۡلِكُمۡ أُوْلُواْ بَقِيَّةٖ يَنۡهَوۡنَ عَنِ ٱلۡفَسَادِ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ إِلَّا قَلِيلٗا مِّمَّنۡ أَنجَيۡنَا مِنۡهُمۡۗ وَٱتَّبَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ مَآ أُتۡرِفُواْ فِيهِ وَكَانُواْ مُجۡرِمِينَ ١١٦

Falawlā kāna minal-qurūni min qablikum ulū baqiyyatin yanhawna 'anil-fasādi fil-ardi illā qalīlam mimman anjaynā minhum wattaba'al-ladhīna zalamū mā utrifū fīhi wakānū mujrimīn
